I love your videos. You are really good at explaining things and features of the tools that you use. Most creative youtubers just skip that part or assume that people who are watching their videos are not noobs. You take good amount of time to do the work so that people can keep up with the pace of you. Keep up the good work. I really learn a lot from your videos. Best wishes for your future! :)

After watching your tutorials, I've taken up the habit of setting all my AI files to 1920 x 1080. Gives so much more room to work in, magnifications much more sensible, and so are the guides and stuff.

Thanks Dansky, I am starting in Illustrator and I am not fluent in the language, the pedagogy to explain and make visible every detail to be able to carry out the activity were great! Regards from Venezuela!

Really great job, Dansky. Thanks so much!

your illustrator tutorials are awesome . helped me to vector art in just 15 days with much expertise .Thanks

I stumbled in, thinking that I would just watch one of your tutorials to get the creative juices flowing for the day and 1,5h later realized I had watched at least 3-4 tutorials and completely lost track of time. Well done ;) I'm a fan, will come back to learn new skills (there's always creative ways, even when you think you know it all already!)

This was so incredibly helpful. Thank you for saying why you used certain commands, helps me learn.

Thanks Dansky , I really love your tuts

I often try to make the figure without seeing your tutorial first. I startet with one line and reflected the line, so they cross one another. Then I put a circle between two lines on one side. Remove the oder side and reflect this part 180° and there is your figure without the need of a lot of small corrections. Just another way!

Hi, Dansky! Thank you for your lessons!

This was helpful! But I cut out a few of the steps and I think it made the end result smoother, getting rid of the asymmetries I can see in the vid's result. I used the 45 degree angle from center trick on the four points where my lines would cross and deleted the center anchor point like the video does. Then I just connected those four anchor points with the pen tool to make the center cross. Then you just delete the segment in between the anchor points at the end of your new lines! No eyeballing where the tangent should go, no extra anchor points to delete the center part. This might not work if you want your center bit to be a bit curvier than you'd get from the 45 degree angle trick, so you'd have to find a different way to place your anchor points in the same spots. But if you got creative with a straight line or maybe a rectangle, and used Illustrator to rotate it to a certain angle, you could maintain your consistency by using it as a ruler. Then you could zoom way in to place your anchor points. Probably not the most elegant hack, but it'd work. You could also probably get away with dragging a guide down to where you want the top 2 anchor points to go, copying and horizontally reflecting the two circles so they overlap, dragging your guide down to where the flipped circles' anchor points are, deleting the duplicate, and using the guide to place your other two. This way's probably easier. Disclaimer, I haven't actually tried either of those because the 45 degree version works for what I wanted. But you folks are clever, I'm sure you can figure it out with some tweaking.

Awesome! This workflow is helpful.

Thank you for this video . Very helpful to me !!

Beautiful, Thanks Danksy I will try it out

really brilliant way to teach concepts dude

Awesome tutorial dude !

Love your tutorial so much!!!

Perfecto!!

Use Esc for releasing the pen tool...and to reflect..just click on the reflect tool...choose horizontal/vertical reflect and click on copy...simpler ways.

thank you so much for this tutorial

Nice one mate, thanks

The video is very good, of course, explanatory, no nonsense, you explain it very well, if it turns out to be boring, I can't speak English, I can pronounce some things in English, I can talk very little, but as incredible as it may seem, I didn't get lost in your video and I had subtitles turned off, when I didn't understand any part, I would stop back, see what you were doing, heard the explanation and do it the same way. Thank you helped me a lot.

Dansky, Very helpful. Thanks! Smiles, Constance

Amazing, I love your videos, they are too useful!!!!

Dansky thank you :)

Many thanks for your works, including play by play talking.

Thank for making this tutorial

Hey @Dansky, is there a way in illustrator to make a gradient follow a line or a path? In your present tutorial, for instance, the gradient goes left to right. Would it be possible to apply it from a starting point to the other end?

teacher thank you for the tutorials and congratulations for the channel, I have a doubt. after we finish our work or creation, how can we save ?

Very Clear Design

Nice tutorial Dansky. :) Could you make a tutorial working with material design icons from google materials? I can not arrangement well (change colours, height, width) in png and svg format. Thank you so much Dansky and continue to your brilliant tutorials :)

hey man its been 2 videos where ive tried to Unite but every time my shape gets distorted.. any ideas?

That is aweeeeesome

Excellent !!

I learned a lot thanks

Thank you again

Dansky, At around 3:00 minutes you start connecting the four ends of the middle "X" to each circle. At this point, I wondered how you were deciding where each connection would be (to have them line up). Might I use guides or a rectangle imposed here to determine the correct spacing of these four connections? Does the program have any other tools to make this happen? Thanks! Smiles, Constance

Very good tutorial! Keep it up my friend :)

Very clear and to the point. Solid tutorial as always man. Cheers!

Hahaha watched it till the end 😂 Great video 👌🏻👌🏻

Reviewing": A powerful tool. Things I like about this video: 1. Practical visual and auditory lesson format in English. 2. Reviewing: Continuous reiteration of the shortcuts and their functions. 3. Bite-sized steps for the beginner/intermediate to brush up or learn new AI pen tips. 4. Bonus: Follow along in AI and make this useful vector for your own files. 5. Mistakes were corrected in real time (4:11 min. "lock on" step). 6. Thumbs up for: The rate of flow seems effectively paced, without extraneous verbiage. A smooth audio quality and voice volume range. Bonus: Nice accent. The author addresses comments and questions in an interactive written format. ADHD *user-friendly (no background noise or music). Subjective detail observations to consider: 1. An unknown factor: *View window of the author speaking. Q: Might it be an optional selection? See ADHD. 2. Providing a text (link?) of numbered lesson steps in an outline format (cheat sheet). 3. For the beginner: Further clarification at 3:18 min when lines of "X" are connected to the circles and 5:32 min. when selecting four new anchor point placements that line up with each other? Smiles, Constance PS Dear Dansky, (I doubt many will read this far, so this is for you). Your professional ethics are showing when you respond to heated criticism with poise. This is a hard room to work! RE: Reviewing Educating via written format is a method that I use to help with my referencing and understanding of content. You need not keep it in your comments if you do not wish to. I welcome your feedback also. Keep up your good form! Smiles, Constance (Former medical laser application specialist, post-secondary college instructor and RN.)

You could've just made a perfect square, rotate it by 45° and completely round off all the corners except the right one. Then duplicate it and reflect it vertically.

Super easy to follow, thanks Dansky!

a little confusing, but really good.

Is it legit to.use gradient in vector graphic logos, i always use normal.colors i.was scared to.use gradient becsuse i thought it is raster 😏

What is the function of expand tool. And difference between expand and expand appereance

Bom dia! Trato feito dos USA. Vocês também compram selos personalizados dos Correios?

good idear

Great Tutorial, But I didn't understand the purpose of the "Global" color yet..

I tried all of your videos and none of it worked at some point there will be an issue. Did that happened to anyone?

too bad illustrator doesn't even have a Line tangent to arc (circles) function. you think that would be something very basic for a design tool..

11:08 whats shortcut to put shape on the backward?

Nice

Thanks you..

Shame there is no download for this file...

similar to making a metaball

Great vid, but nobody EVER explains what 'expand' means for us dummies.

3:56 = It's CTRL+A?? I don't understand.

I love this english accent

hi can you help to make a logo of my name

WHY DO U MAKE COMPOUND PATH ...... HERE PLS

just F A N T A S T I C

Bom dia! Minha arte esta nos selos personalizados dos Correios , desde 2003 e confesso que não copiei de ninguém. São os únicos no mundo, em uma única cartela com 12 selos. Olá mercado filatelico!!!

Video is very good.... But the procedure is too lengthy, that could be done in half of the taken time..

You really have moved on. After a tragic loss and an annoying adventure with Sherlock, you do graphic design now. And it's quite promising, I suppose. I hope Rosie likes it. Well done

lplop Nice!

Hi. I am a fan always like your videos but I am not a fan of the new inset of you talking . I think it is a little distracting.

Not a perfect tangent line. Very unprofessional

Its so not good.
